BELLEVILLE, Ill., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Illinois American Water congratulates Rebecca Losli, President, Illinois American Water, on being named by the Scott Air Force Base to its 2027 Class of Honorary Commanders. The class is comprised of 20 community leaders from the St. Louis metropolitan region.

“As a newly inducted Honorary Commander, I look forward to growing my awareness of the base while connecting with local leaders,” said Losli. “At Illinois American Water, we have partnered with Scott Air Force Base on several community initiatives, and this is a great opportunity to continue growing relationships as we collaborate to best serve our community. Additionally, American Water’s Military Services Group proudly provides safe, clean and reliable water services on base.”

Losli was inducted as a Base Commander for the 932 Airlift Wing. Over the next two years, she will work closely with Col. Jeffrey A. Smith, who will help guide her participation as an Honorary Commander.
